Simon was our tour guide. He is full of knowledge and it was fun being quizzed by him about Beatle trivia. We learned so much. It was relaxing and a very smooth tour. We covered so much. We sang and laughed and he offered to take our pictures everywhere we stopped!!! We were fortunate because it was a small tour.
I can’t remember the drivers name at this time but he was very professional, opened our doors and helped us out. He was very friendly and his driving was impeccable!!
A great team and we were fortunate!!
A lot of little tidbits we ne er knew!! Exvellent tpur!!

Awesome small tour of all the most important best Beatles sights in Liverpool. Comfortable mini bus and nice modest group size. Excellent driver and extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide, Simon, who also played Beatles tunes relevant to each sight along the way, and encouraged singing along 😀 Plenty of photo opportunities too. Brilliant!

Whether you are a Beatle-file, or just an interested fan, this IS the Beatles tour you want to take in Liverpool. Phil was a TERRIFIC tour guide!! We have been cruising for 20 years and have had a LOT of guides. The key to being a good guide of course is the ability to spin a good story, and Phil is a master. I am sure he is an amazing school teacher. This tour EXCEDED our expectations. We were picked up at the cruise terminal. The plush Mercedes Benz van was VERY comfortable. There was a designated driver and Phil sat in the back with us 4 passengers, relaying all the history and stories of the Beatles. We not only stopped at all the homes and numerous places on Penny Lane, but we stopped at: the church hall (and got to go inside) where John Lenon's early bandmates the Quarryman practiced; visited the graveyard where an Eleanor Rigby is buried and the "boys" (Paul and John) would catch a cigarette; visited the former site of the Strawberry Fields Orphanage and current Museum (admission included) dedicated to the Beatles; and ended the tour on Mathew's Street and the Cavern Club, where the Beatles got discovered by Brian Epstein, their long time manager. A jam-packed four hours!!!! Thank you Phil!!!!

Craig_S, Aug 2025
This was the best Beatles tour ever! My daughter and I are mega Beatles fans and even we learned some new things!! My daughter was the youngest person on the tour and the guide made her feel very special and wanted to make sure she would continue the Beatles legacy!! We got to see pretty much everything (minus George’s house which doesn’t allow buses to get to) and we even got to step inside the very church where John and Paul met! What an amazing day :)

Absolutely amazing tour. Very knowledgeable guide and van driver as well. The tour included background information about the members (including childhood), the neighborhood they grew up in, and the homes. And was fortunate enough to meet Colin Hanton - original member of the Quarry Men (Beatles before they changed their name).
